For Worcester's five high schools, White estimated the cost of installing metal detector systems would run from $73,000 to $91,250. He noted given the school populations, four or five units would likely be needed to move students through in the morning. One handheld wand per unit is also included in the price.
Hardware costs and manpower costs. Portal metal detectors vary widely in price. Portals on the market range from as little as $1,000 up to as much as $30,000. The moderately-priced models around $4,000 to $5,000 probably offer the features and reliabilities required for a school metal detection program. Models closer to $1,000 are not recommended due to lack of sensitivity of these devices.
